  1. Why shouldn’t they be accountable - they started the circus and pressed on with no evidence and caused a huge amount of mental and financial grief with no justification .
  2. Did I say Nth island - I said ALL RACING
  3. All racing is bad - bad horses or good horses follow the leader or good horses team driving and sorted out before the start . Team driving is cheating !
  4. Why do people say Tim is young - he is a senior horsemen . He is generally the same age as Dexter, John , Matt , Zac so are you saying John Zac, Dexter are just better than the rest ? John Morrison is young ! Your comment is I’ll informed .
  5. Canterbury needs a training place but no industry support - short sighted .
  6. As an owner the sums are so bad means less or nil horses therefore support proven trainers therefore they have themselves and preferred drivers . Also girls love horses and happy to do the yards to climb the tree to get the boss to give them a go ! Guys still want to play rugby on Saturday plus practices , party hard and chase skirt and miss the odd day with a hangover or turn up hungover and no use to anyone far more often than the pony girl who loves horses . Girls love horses and $$$ is secondary. Boys love girls and having enough money to spend on girls and toys so 6-7 days a week for poor pay means let’s go and manual work for more $$$ So without the pony girl to stable hand to driver /rider to trainer the industry will have no succession .
  7. What happened on the 12th June Blossom Lady ?
  8. Still higher % for on course
  9. Correct - more money directly to the club from on course turnover . Very important .
  10. Stiff at disaster either way - that means stakes going down !
  11. And the interviewer is - I have heard - the crown chief witness as he was the go to for bets
  12. Heard the other day turnover on Harness Minus $50,000,000 That is $50 million so far Can some one ask authority to confirm?
  13. The original desk top site used on the phone was 3 times better for racing than this new site . HRNZ site the same comment applies - Desk Top read on phone why the hell did anyone touch them at huge cost $$$$ too!
  14. Shocking reporting . There are many who are skeptical about this treatment and to be objective surely any reporter worth his title hears the other side of the story - those who object and why they do so . It is not universally accepted ( implied it was last week ) with some countries not accepting it so why don’t they not accept it? Poor reporting as only one side of debate asked to comment .
  15. It should tell us that then - the horse is not residing at Margo Nyhans barn - so the punter should be informed it is in McGraths barn .
  16. It has run in the first 3 50% of its starts and won just over $40k . Surely that is not bad - I would be happy. Also , if I loss my nuts my mojo would desert me for a while .
  17. Not on TAB PDF easy form sheet - no mention Nigel was training the horse
  18. The Info Horse Records should have - Domiciled at XYZ trainer and place if different from registered trainer . See know the circumstances why but today 2 winners but no advice where trained etc
  19. Horses from Nyhan stable have now won from 3 different stables including Spreydon Lodge . So do the above comments apply to Spreydon Lodge and parent owner NeveleR stud or are you jealous selective . Actually Spreydon has had the most success with Nyhan Horses .
  20. For me it would be the first place to get the chop - terrible facilities , average track & never any atmosphere - and this confirms why keep the place .
  21. I am getting the hang of it but lacks some of the detail under info horse . Where do you find drivers last say 30 drive history - doesn’t matter the finishing position .
  22. Jesus what BS - Franco Niven draw nine and gets a serve to make the lead then his uncles horse attacks him on the outside all the way and runs 4th . The horse is not a machine - maybe ask Gerald O’reily about his tactics as he dropped out and didn’t give his horse a chance .
  23. - How do I get to full / desk top site from mobile ? - How do I search all nominations by trainer - how do I search all fields by driver and trainer This is for full site and mobile site Lastly why not put all results for one meeting open and review them all . A lot of TAB site rubbish - pretty but lacks substance !
  24. I am not a Mark Jones fan but alas I agree with him on one thing - the free ride for running 2-4th has in on move stuffed the rating system . The drop backs plus only a few moving forwards our fields are full of horse previously would of been retired 4 years ago . A rating 40 horse should not deserve a start but if you want to go that low - never at Addington or Alexander Parks ! The system needs money and wins as a mixture as a base - a win at Forbury is half the performance as on at Addington on any night .
  25. For me on the sideline it did concern me the Ohoka Matty driving tactics - I had an investment on the Kerr horse so watched the race . To have a couple of big digs for the lead when no chance to get the lead the first time and when the horse is not up to do that makes u think maybe it was driven for a result which was not the result I wanted . The attacking definitely won the race for the stablemate . May all be above board but for me one horse was driven for his stablemate .
